Histori
The Nation was founded by journalists in 1971 as The Voice of the Nation . The name was eventually shortened to "The Nation."
This paper changed a lot in 1991, when some Thai journalists from the Bangkok Post defected to The Nation .
In 2008, The Nation dismissed a large number of staff and under the new editor of former business editor Thanong Khanthong rearranged herself as a business newspaper, transferring an international copy of wire to the tabloid free tab, Daily Xpress.
In January 2018, the Nation Multimedia Group comprised two digital TV stations, the English-language Nation newspaper, two Thai newspapers, and a publisher. The acquisition by T News is the result of a three-year effort to acquire a share controlling stake in the Multimedia Nation property. The Conglomerate of Nations has suffered financial difficulties for many years.
The two brothers who head the The Nation , co-founders Suthichai Yoon and Thepchai Yong, will no longer be in newspaper helmets. Suthichai retires on January 12, 2018. Thepchai will depart in April.

Editorial line
The Nation and Bangkok Post are similar in their coverage of international news. Their target audience is the Thai upper and lower middle classes. After Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was elected in 2001, several companies associated with him stopped advertising at The Nation. The newspaper reported cuts on advertisements and adopted a violent anti-Thaksin editorial line.
Although the The Nation has a much better opinion page, which welcomes the 2014 coup and military rule, its daily news coverage is more correct in the middle, criticizing, for example, Thai lÃÆ'¨se-majestà © Ã… © law. According to acknowledged, the middle-left journalist, Pravit Rojanaphruk, who worked at the Nation for 23 years, in his heyday, Nation ... is the bastion of journalism and tolerance. " But over the past decade, it "morphed from progressive newspaper to a coup-apologist cheerleader for military intervention,..." Pravit was fired from The Nation in 2015 after being freed from the junta for three days of detention without charge for "attitude adjustment", such second arrest.
The acquisition by T News signifies the next step to the right by the Nation group. T News is an ultra-royalist and pro-junta, both editorial and daily coverage.
Satire reaction
In December 2007, an unknown person started a satire site called Not Nation, , an editing of The Nation's website and coverage of Thai affairs. Temporarily the website is not working, for unknown reasons. The pages once featured Abhisit's picture with a quote: "A very legal site but we're working on it" and another from Thaksin with legend, "did not I demand that they not be there in 2004?" This site then quipped her with a link to Who Do We Wrongly Think Is Behind NTN?
Linking directly to post-2014 sites, Thai coup switched to modified site suspension notifications Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 22:59:26 UTC with hat hat, hat, and orange shirt shirt, and legend: This site has stepped out for a bit . On March 3, 2015, the site restarted "with new executive staff appointed by the Thai military government."
